Pros

The company offered really affordable benefits including medical, dental, vision, life, and so on. They also offer a generous PTO plan

Cons

Micromanagement and a very intentionally difficult performance goal. This job was primarily email-based with occasional phone calls. The company was aware that both the volume of emails and calls were very low. They still wanted several emails ‘completed’ per hour and intentionally set an impossible to meet performance productivity standard. My immediate boss was counting my mouse clicks per minute.
